The scientific case for badger culling – an organic farmer writes

Organic farmer Charles Mann, aroused by The Ecologist’s anti-cull stance, makes an evidence-based case for culling badgers in areas of high TB incidence – together with other measures including enhanced testing in apparently ‘low risk’ areas that present a high risk of disease spread.

Charles Mann writes clearly about his views But he is selective in the phrases that he has chosen to substantiate his case and he has stripped out the caveats, particularly those attached to his quote from the April Sir Bob Watson meeting of experts.
